When a listener thinks of international hip-hop, Cyprus and Greece most likely do not come to mind. A dual representative of Ayia Napa and Athens, Sniper looks to give these foreign spots a home with his worldwide debut single, Around the World. Although most rappers brag about big money, Sniper takes a different approach; he boasts about a common spending habit among true millionaires: worldwide tourism. The Roc’s Memphis Bleek flies in all the way from Brooklyn to contribute and in the process, finally spits lyrics that fit the beat. Fellow Athenian Phyrosun‘s bridge vocals are completely στα ελληνικά, but that only proves how widespread hip-hop has become, ξέρετε τι σημαίνω?
no way is this the same Sniper that was in So Solid Crew back in the day? blud if thats him, im shocked! idk if it is, but i dont like this too much, Memphis is a fav artist of mine, but he just never goes as hard as he could.
Music is what you make it. Music is Fashion. Switch-it-Up! I can Dig-It. Makes me wanna throw my champagne goblet in the fireplace. Is this a snippet? It could bounced a lil' longer. I can see how "Around The World" got the Islands poppin'. I wanna get this poppin NYC.
International hip-hop has been blasting off lately. Did you guys see the Cipher segements on the BET Hip Hop Awards? They had a multiple international MCs on there. The beat and lyrics are very "exotic", but about half way through the record you can definitely bob your head to this. I doubt if this will gain airplay here in America though.
I am really feeling the way they went out and did something total different from the beats to the flow...I like it...And Bleek will always be a personal favorite...
WOOOWOO!! Greece! REppin... 4sho! this is da shit!... gotta love the homeland! this is a good beat, n the lyrics r okay, but in greek u betta respect dat shit...
